[for-next][PATCH 24/25] rv: Remove rv_reactors reference counter

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: Nam Cao <namcao@linutronix.de>

rv_reactor has a reference counter to ensure it is not removed while
monitors are still using it.

However, this is futile, as __exit functions are not expected to fail and
will proceed normally despite rv_unregister_reactor() returning an error.

At the moment, reactors do not support being built as modules, therefore
they are never removed and the reference counters are not necessary.

If we support building RV reactors as modules in the future, kernel
module's centralized facilities such as try_module_get(), module_put() or
MODULE_SOFTDEP should be used instead of this custom implementation.

Remove this reference counter.
